Philip: "You did yourself proud yesterday, (F)."

(F): "No, I should be apologizing. What happened was my fault. Stil, I don't understand. I know why they abducted Eris, but why me as well?"

Philip: "There are many uses for a member of the Greyrat bloodline. Both politically and physically. Do you see?"

(F): "I think so?"

Philip: "By the way, I assume you understand. Under no circumstances-"

(F): "Yes, I understand. Ghislaine did it all, right?"

Philip lets out a small laugh.

Philip: "Good."

(F): [Officially, Ghislaine dealt with the kidnapping on her own. To let people know that we have a Sword King here, and show the Greyrat's strength. And apparently it would be bad if the 'other' greyrats knew about me. I don't really get it, but it must be political wrangling.]

A women in a red dress walks in.

Philip: "Hilda."

Hilda: "Good morning, dear."

Philip: "This is Paul's son. I've hired him as Eris's new tutor."

You get up and bow.

(F): "It's a pleasure to meet you. I am (F) Greyrat."

(F): [She must be Philip's wife.]

Hilda: "Tsk!"

She turns and walks away.

(F): [It looks like she doesn't like me. What'd I do?]

And suddenly a man burst through the door.

Old man: "Is Paul's son here?!"

(F): "Pleased to meet you. I am (F) Greyrat."

Old man: "You're polite for Paul's boy! You may stay in this manor!"

Butler: "Master (F), that is the current lord of Fittoa, Lord Sauros Boreas Greyrat."

Philip: "My father."

Boreas: "I hear you saved Eris!"

(F): "Oh, no it wasn't me. Ghislaine was the one..."

Boreas: "Are you trying to lie to me, boy?!"

(F): [H-Huh?]

(F): "N-No, sir! Lord Philip told me to..."

Boreas: "Philip!"

Philip: "yes, Father."

He walks over to him and kneels down only to have Boreas punch him and send him flying.

Boreas: "Ingrate! Is that any way to treat your daughter's savior?!"

He gets up and kneels again as if nothing happened.

Philip: "Father, (F) has Greyrat blood. Rather then mere show of gratitude, I hope to thank him warmly, as family."

Boreas: "As long as you have a plan!"

Philip: "Thank you very much."

(F): [I am so fucking confused right now]

(F):[So, he won't apologize for the punch?]

A rabbit beastkin walks to him and places down some kind of cup.

(F): [Come to think of it, Eris never apologized to me, either. Not that I really mind.]

He finishes drinking his drink.

Boreas: "(F)! I have a request!"

(F): "Y-Yes, sir!"
